If the petcock and/or fuel pump is or has been leaking you may want to do an oil change in case any petrol has got into the oil.

If you do a search for SV650 carb leak, you'll find that stuck float needles, leaking petcock and cracked fuel lines are common problems on curvys. You might want to look up hydrolock too (bearing in mind that I'm always pessimistic).


Ahh this so sounds like the problem! Just went down to smell the oil gasket and it smells of petrol! Hydrolocked [emoji33]

Now to find the cause of the leak, right? First will check the fuel pump/ petcock. Then the carbs...have received the restore kits last week
